Hytale Update 2 is Out Now

The road to release for Hytale was quite bumpy. It started in 2015 as a Minecraft server and eventually grew into a full game. After years of work, Riot Games canceled the project in mid-2025, but Simon Collins-Laflamme, the original founder of Hypixel Studios, bought it back. Hytale launched in early access on January 13, 2026, and quickly became very popular. Thanks to this early success, the developers have secured funding for the next few years and aren’t slowing down – they’ve already released two major updates in the two weeks since launch, with many more planned for the coming months.
